An excited post on idolninja.com
outlines plans for Volition to release details for Saints Row: The Third
that will allow the creation of mod tools for the open-world action sequel
(thanks nin). This will also include information for Saints Row 2, but
more significantly, is said to ne a "test run" for similar support for the
upcoming Saints Row IV. The post has details on how this all came to
pass, and here's an excerpt describing exactly what it means:

Jeff
Thompson, the Studio Director of Programming at Volition, is putting together a
package for us containing documentation, file formats, tools, and more on the
Saints Row: The Third engine. Myself, Minimaul, and gibbed will be working
closely with Jeff over the coming months to use this information to create a
robust set of modding tools to supplement our existing ones and creating what is
essentially a full sdk for the game! But, that’s not all! Saints Row: The Third
is only the beginning! Jeff has confirmed that he will also be digging up all
the Saints Row 2 info that he can so we can do the same for it as well, and that
this undertaking is actually a “test run” for Saints Row IV.

So, what does this actually mean to the average Saints Row player? In simple
terms, the modding community will finally be able to create and offer new
clothing, new vehicles, new guns, new npcs, new missions, and even new world
geometry which will greatly extend the life of the series and enhance the Saints
Row games in ways we never even dared to dream of.
